Degauss problem, possibly the ptc resistor. Any magnets nearby?
Also using only the remote to turn on/off does not activate degauss.

GPG:
Using the remote to turn on/off the television certainly DOES activate the
degauss cycle.... the power switch on the television is a momentary contact
switch that wakes up the microprocessor just like the remote does..... it
is not a mains disconnect switch like may be found on much older sets or
some designs meant for the PAL/SECAM market.
A waiting time or cool off period may be required for the degauss cycle to
operate..... or as suggested, a magnet nearby or a malfunction with the
degauss circuitry..... a rather inexpensive repair at most service shops.
